Chapter VI The New Economy
Immediately after the new economic policy was enacted, the government began to recruit and provide a large number of jobs for people.
The original production team was disbanded and replaced by new enterprises, research institutes, hospitals, plantations, public services, and so on.
The entire interior of the spaceship is no longer all workers, but slowly divides into various occupations. If you have children in the future, you have to recruit teachers and set up a school. The entire new human civilization began to transition to a normal society.
People can choose their favorite profession according to their hobbies and specialties, rather than being forced to designate positions as before.
There is no surplus of labor here, because the population is only 50,000 people, and the shortage of labor is about the same.
"Wolf Design Bureau", "Tesla Research Institute", "Transhuman Research Center", "Huguang Supercomputing Center", "Superintelligence Research Institute", "New Hope Plantation", "Kirov Industrial Plant" ...... Big, amazing plans float on the page, making people marvel and intoxicate.
"This is a specialized weapons factory, and there are industrial factories!"
"There are also professional plantations, I love this place and can be close to nature."
A group of people, men and women, gathered in front of the bulletin board, and kept discussing. These plans are too full of reverie, and they are real, and they really give a sense of the ambition of the new government.
If all these plans are implemented, 50,000 people will not be enough to fill the job, and at least 200,000 people will need to meet the demand for jobs, so everyone is filling in the job intentions and can choose the job they want. Many people still prefer their old professions, and some people want to change careers.
But there are some good positions, and the competitive pressure is also very high.
When some Russians and Ukrainians saw the word "Kirov", they seemed to think of their once great Soviets, and their enthusiasm was aroused at once, and they were eager to immediately plunge into this factory and get out the fantasy Kirov airboats......
Of course, this is impossible, there are not so many resources for them to engage in these things now, and the main direction is still based on "practicality".
According to Yu Yifeng's plan, the new economic system is, of course, not a completely liberalized market economy, but a "planned economy."
Most goods are provided by the government, and their prices are set directly by the government. The basic necessities are very cheap, and the average person has a full surplus of a month's salary. However, luxury goods such as cigarettes and alcohol are expensive, and they can only be enjoyed only a few times a month.
As for the new house...... It's not built yet, and no one can afford it anyway. The government is aggressively recruiting professional construction workers, and the salary is S$1,400 a month, which is not bad.
"According to the plan, a house needs an average person's salary for 36 months, which is S$40,000, which is about 80 square meters in size." A girl explaining government policy, she is the latest policy interpreter, "and a bigger house may be more expensive." Also, houses can't be traded privately. ”
"This price looks okay, it can't be considered expensive, it's still very cheap compared to our housing prices in Huaxia...... "Some Chinese people listened to it and nodded one after another, feeling that the housing prices are good, basically everyone can afford it." As for the fact that houses cannot be traded privately, they subconsciously ignore that houses are for living, not for speculation.
"In order to encourage people to have more children, our new human government has also specially formulated a preferential housing price policy: husband and wife can buy their first house together, and they can get a 7% discount; If you have children, you will get a 5% discount! The interpreter continued, in fact, she herself is a little moved, maybe if you have the opportunity, you can find a boyfriend.
That is to say. A husband and wife, with children, can buy a house for nine months with just two people's salaries! Of course, it is impossible to go without eating or drinking for nine months, and the actual period may be a little longer...... However, with a 5% discount, it is still very discounted. "A few ordinary people began to calculate, their eyes lit up slightly, and this was related to their vital interests.
Buy a house in nine months! Some young couples have already begun to think about whether to get married and have children...... The strength of this discount is too great, and those who have no wife and children can only be red-eyed......
The new government is revealing this meaning, brothers who don't have wives, hurry up and find it!
Houses and the like are strictly forbidden to be bought and sold privately. Otherwise, some people may take advantage of the loopholes in the rules, buy them from the government at a discount, and then sell them...... What else is there to fake marriage to buy a house and then divorce...... These behaviors are strictly forbidden, and Yu Yifeng and they have already plugged all the loopholes.
Of course, today's people don't want to risk the world's condemnation to drill the loopholes of the rules......
For the most common jobs, the monthly salary is between S$1,000 and S$1,200, and the salary will increase sequentially according to the different job levels, but the gap between the rich and the poor is not very large.
The professor-level position is only about 2,000, and Yu Yifeng's own salary is 2,400 Singapore dollars.
The new monetary policy adopts the means of electronic money, without any paper money issued, and everyone's identity card can store electronic money, through the encryption of supercomputers, there is no risk of theft.
According to the government's designated price, the purchasing power of 1 Singapore dollar is about 1 catty of rice or 0.7 catties of wheat. A normal person, eating a pound of food a day is about the same, and the consumption is about S$30 a month, which is very cheap for this basic survival material.
Of course, people can't just eat rice, but also vegetables, fruits, meat, etc., which vary in price according to rarity. All things add up, 300 Singapore dollars a month should be a good meal.
With an Engel coefficient of less than 30%, it can be said that this kind of life is relatively rich.
People consume not only food, but also more daily necessities to buy, such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, basins, salt, monosodium glutamate, etc., and some people like to smoke and drink in their spare time. Things like cigarettes and alcohol are more expensive, and it's almost the same to enjoy them two or three times a month.
Also, the government stipulates that those who can't afford to buy a house can temporarily rent a house, a 30 square meter single room, and the monthly rent is about S$100.
According to this calculation, a salary of S$1,200 can save a little bit, and a person can save S$500 or 600 a month.
This system is called a simple economic system because the new currency only participates in the interaction between the government and the people. Large state-owned enterprises (SOEs) operate through a planned economy and do not participate in the circulation of new currency.
The enterprises in the Noah are not for profit, and everything they produce is carried out in accordance with the "planning instructions", and all the means of production are owned by the state.
For example, company A produces a piece of steel and ships it directly to company B, and after company B processes it into parts, it is shipped directly to company C......
Among them, there is no need to settle in new coins, because they do not need to think about profits, just a paper order.
The advantages of such a planned economy are obvious, the control ability of the new human government is very strong, and the decree will not be hindered because of the relationship between "money". There is no such thing as taxation between enterprises, and there is no need to consider issues such as market supply and demand, as long as production, production, and reproduction are sufficient.
Like the United States on the earth before, although it is the first power, some government decrees are often difficult to implement, because they are a completely market-oriented economy, the government is in debt, there is no money, get out, which business dick you?
But the new human government is different, money does not participate in the circulation between enterprises, and a paper order can be started.
Yu Yifeng believes that as long as the output of goods provided by the government is greater than the new currency issued, as long as all the new coins issued can be recovered, this game can be played forever.
But if people take the new money and they can't buy things, the government's credit goes bankrupt and the system can't be sustained. But Yu Yifeng deliberately set up an economic department to be responsible for special statistical accounting, and would not let this kind of thing happen.
For now, people work for the government, get new dollars, and buy goods from the government through new dollars, and the logic is simple and straightforward. The exchange of new coins between people is basically very small. The state-owned enterprises under the government run on their own and have nothing to do with the Singapore currency.
The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and people pursue profits, which is understandable, because people yearn for a better life. There is no good or evil in the benefit itself, the user is good, and the user evil becomes evil.
Eating in a big pot is certainly not a good way out, which not only restricts people's right to freedom, but also weakens people's sense of competition.
The current neocoin economy seems to be free, and you can buy whatever you want. Where there is a demand, there is naturally a pursuit......
But in fact, the private economy has been greatly weakened, everyone works for state-owned enterprises, everyone buys things from the state, and there is basically no transaction between people.
It seems to be a bit of a constraint on people's imagination, everyone works step by step, can not start a business, create, and is prone to lack of vitality, which is also a defect of the planned economy.
If you want to overcome this shortcoming, you need the guidance of the new government, and Yu Yifeng is ready to slowly raise people's minds, slowly downplay the importance of the new currency, and dilute the idea that work is for "money".
When everyone takes work for granted, is a necessity of life, and everyone can do what they can, then this vitality will be restored, and it will be more vigorous than the vitality of capitalism.
Another problem is the blind command and bureaucracy inherent in the planned economy. Yu Yifeng believes that as long as the people in charge of state-owned enterprises are truly selfless and truly work for their ideals, then there will be no soil for corruption to breed......
There are still many people like this, Professor Ding Yidong, Dr. Roman, Dr. Felix, Professor Sean...... These great scientists have come to this point because they are really working for hobbies and ideals, and they are the real elite of mankind, and it is impossible for them to be shaken by the word "money" or "power".
They became the main leaders of these state-owned enterprises. Of course, Yu Yifeng is responsible for the final check, 50,000 people are not like hundreds of millions of people, it is relatively simple to be honest and fair.
If there really is any vicious accident, he will definitely not be soft.
He is looking forward to what kind of changes the new economic system will bring......
